Ex-fugitive gets 21 years in deadly gang attack

VISTA  A one-time fugitive arrested in Mexico last year was sentenced Thursday in Vista Superior Court to 21 years in state prison for his role in a 2002 Oceanside slaying.

Fernando Herrera Salas, 41, was extradited to the U.S. in early March, a little more than 10 years after the victim was beaten and stabbed to death in the Crown Heights neighborhood, behind Oceanside High School.
